Mafia Wars 10 Million Fan Appreciation Event, March 30-31

In honor of reaching 10 million fans on Facebook, Mafia Wars will be giving away a few tokens of their appreciation starting March 30 (12:01 a.m. PST) to March 31 (11:59 PST).

For 48 hours, Mafia Wars Facebook fans will be able to the following:

* Double mastery in all cities (New York, Cuba, Moscow and Bangkok)
* All fights will produce 25% more experience
* Everyone who plays during this even will receive a limited edition item called the 'Heavy Hand'

To stay informed about this event (which seems like will be a great way to get a leg up in the game), hit up the official Mafia Wars Facebook page, and -- if you're not a fan already - click the button at the top that says 'Become A Fan,' which will allow you to stay abreast this event and all other official Mafia Wars updates.

We'll bring you the stats for the new Heavy Hand shotgun as soon as they are available.
